of Wall Street.-The General
Quotations.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Pork was the faYorite
article on the list for the brokers at the open
ing of The board of trade this morning. On u
big bid by local operator the market opened
at SIG for May, but the general crowd was
onlv bidding at Sl595 and i'll half an hour
the price had eased off to S15.S5. This last
figure, however, was a fraction above last
nights close, the strength being due to light
receipts. Later, on heavy bear
movements, the option went down
50 SI5.75, but soon after rallied TO
SIS. S2I2. The record of the other markets
during the first hour was similar TO that of
pork May lard opened 7l2e higher at
SS.27I2. May wheat opened at S3iSc and
May corn at 5i34c. Trading was not I'M
usually large. During the morning May
wheat, which had sold up to sic. eased back
to S3SSc on large selling. May corn sold
down 10 54s4c. There was little doing in
either of the grain pits. and before the close,
May corn sold down to 544c, and up again
TO 54SsG54l2c, on purely local deals. May
wheat after touching S3ssc, went up to S35sc,
around which figure it held steady at 1890
o'clock.

The Local option Fight.

MACON, Mo-, Aug. 25.-The local
option fight continues, and it cannot
be told just how the matter will turn
out. 1t is evident that local option will
receive a much higher vote than was
first thought. 1t may carry, although
the majority of saloon high license
people are not alarmed, and are quite
sure of success; while the local option
lists are quite hopeful, some take but
little interest in the matter. 1t is not
known how they will vote. Last JAN
uary there were two candidates for may
or here. r. w. Aiken was known
to be a high license man,
while d. IL. Payson was run as
an anti-saloOn license candidate. The
issue was fully discovered then. Aiken
defeated Payson 233 votes. There
were 597 votes cast. Aiken and Pay
son were both Republicans, but Aiken
was naturally more popular. The
Democrats had no candidate. For six
months last year Macon had no licensed
saloon, but had the gallon houses,
which caused more drunkenness than
under the high license. Now, since
the gallon law is repealed, things might
be different. The preachers, prOhi-
bitionists and some more are still thor
Oughly advocating local option. Colonel
Hickman spoke again tonight to a
large and enthusiastic audience.

EuI stock CIim-Joms

WICHITA Kas., Aug. 29.-At the time
of the closing of the West End drug
store. about 81 900 worth of liquors were
confiscated by the county. Yester-
day O'Connor and Jones, of the
internal revenue department, made an
examination of the liquors in the bar
rels and found that the contents in no
way correspondent with the proofs
| made by the officers upon the barrels.
In one barrel of whisky was found, as
the examiner expressed it, enough of
arsenic to poison the town. A keg of
gin they said had been made in the city
and had not passed through the hands
of the revenue officers at all. The
proper steps will be Immediately taken
| for the conviction of the partys guilty
of the manufacture and adulteration of
| the LIQUORS.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 26.-Three
hundred men employed at No. 1 slope
of the Susquehanna Coal company at
Nanticoke had a narrow escape with
their lives yesterday. This large army
of men were engaged in mining coal in
the lowest vein in the mine, when a
great volume of water stored in one of
the upper veins broke through into the
gangway where the men were at work.
BY the aid of electric bells the men all
through the mine were made aware of
the danger in store for them and rush
was made for the openings. All sue
ceeded in making their escape, but
many of the older men and young boys
were knocked down and trampled upon
Before the men got out the water had
increased to three feet in depth in the
main gangway and some of the miners
had to paddle their way out. The mine
will not be able to resume operations
| until the water can be pumped out
which will take week or more. Ninet!
mules persisted. The loss to the com
panY will be considerable.

PennsyIvanla Prohibrttonis...

HARRISBURG, Aug. 24.-The State
Convention of Prohibitionists was
called to order in the Opera House at
10 o'clock this morning About 400
delegates, probably dozen of whom
were women, were present. At the
opening s. b. Chase, of Easton, was
introduced as temporary chairman,
and spoke briefly. Committees on
ton were appointed. A committee of
three was appointed to investigate the
charges of unjust discrimination on
the part of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in favor of the Republican party.
The afternoon session was opened
with prayer, and permanent organiza-
ton was effected by the election
of the Hon. S. C. Wolf as chair
man and long list of vice presidents.
The platform was then read. 1t de-
nounces the liquor traffic and demands
the prohibition of the same by constitu-
tional amendment, upbraids the pres
cowardice toward the saloon
power at the ballot box, favors
protection of American labor and capi-
tai, the restriction of emigration as
against pauper and criminal classes
the reservation of the public lands for
actual settlers, popular education, with
the retention of the Bible in public
schools, just pensions to dependent
soldiers or their families, civil service
based on personal character and official
fitness, and a wise, economical admin
istration of public affairs. The plat
form also favors equal taxation, arbi-
tratiOn in labor disputes and woman
suffrage, and denOunces the ''conti-
mental SundaY.n

The G. A. n. Sentiment.

HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 27.-John
II. Thacher of this city, assistant ad-
jutant general of the Grand Army in
this state, has received returns from
forty-six of sixty-seven Grand Army
posts in Connecticut giving the vote in
each organization concerning the new
pension bill which is advocated by the
national encampment, being practically
identical with the bill that was vetoed
by President Cleveland last spring,
and only one post, NJ. A. Taintor, of
Colchester, voted against the proposed
bill. In that post the vote stood to
Is. Including the eighteen adverse
votes in colchester post the total vote
in opposition in the forty-six posts is
forty-three, there being only twenty
five negative votes recorded in forty
five posts. Thirty-six posts have voted
unanimously in favor of the measure.
Posts which have not voted are with
the exception of Mansfield post in
country towns. So far as organized
this action can be taken that the vet
Grams of the state will be on the side OF
the new pension measure

The report of Committee on Laws
